…Is it appropriate to deny diverse immigrant populations culturally competent, compassionate health care? If passed, city health-care providers would be prevented from communicating with their patient in the patient’s language — a situation that would have dire effects.

Is it appropriate to hinder opportunities for the Nashville community to engage in intellectual dialogue in pursuit of academic excellence? Each year many international students and teachers come to our campuses to enrich our academic mission, participate in our vibrant Nashville community, and contribute to our local economy.

The “English-only” amendment will not force illegal immigrants to leave, nor will it stop the influx of additional undocumented immigrants from coming to Nashville.
